... the Sea Service includes the Marine Corps - they have been a bit busy too. That said, a Navy (read - not Department of the Navy - the Corps does not work for the CNO) dominance at the Combatant Command level scares me. Let's face it - we are in a 'long war' (yea, I like that term) with adversaries that are not much inclined in projecting naval power against our national interests.

Of course, if the navy commander might be a SEAL, SEABEE, Aviator (who believes in CAS) or Gator type (that can figure out seabasing and supporting the ground guys) - I might figure a bit differently... Just some random thoughts.
